Patho Chpt. 31

The client has developed a tumor of the posterior pituitary gland. The client is a risk for problems with the secretions off

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin

Select the most accurate statement regarding measurements of urinary hormone:

Provide a better measure of hormone levels during a designated period.

The number of hormone receptors in a cell may be altered for any of several reasons. The most appropriate response would be:

Antibodies may destroy or block the receptor proteins.

The anatomy instructors are presenting a lecture on hormone synthesis. The instructor determines that instruction was effective when students identify the site of prohormone to hormone conversion as the

Golgi complex

Select the most appropriate statement that describes a function of hormones.

Hormones function as modulators of cellular and systematic responses.

A nursing instructor is teaching a group of students about the action of hormones. The answer to determine that teaching was effective when the students recognize a local action of hormones as

Paracrine

The nurse is caring for a client who has been diagnosed with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and has been taking oral steroids for several years. The nurse is aware that the client is at risk for

Suppression of the client's hypothalamic-pituitary-target cell system

Select the category of hormones that include norepinephrine and epinephrine.

amines and amino acids

Select the home on that requires protein as a transport carrier

Cortisol

The nurse is reviewing the test results of a client who has given thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) to evaluate the function of the pituitary gland. The nurse should recognize a pituitary dysfunction as:

Decreased TSH levels

A nurse is assessing the laboratory results of a client diagnosed with chronic adrenal insufficiency. The nurse would expect the results to identify

Decreased cortisol levels

A client has developed a tumor of the anterior pituitary gland. The nurse is aware that the client and second risk for alterations of: select all that apply.

Growth and metabolism, function of the thyroid gland, glucocorticoid hormone levels, function of the gonads

Select the statement best explains the function of hormone receptors

Hormone receptors recognize the specific hormone and translate the signal into a cellular response

The position is assessing a client with a preliminary diagnosis of endocrine disorder. Further assessment findings identify abnormalities with emotion, pain, body temperature, and neural input. The physician determines the need to further assess the:

Hypothalamus

An instructor is teaching a class about positive feedback mechanism. The best example would be:

Increased estradiol production causes increased gonadotropin (FSH) production.

The client asked the nurse what causes the secretion of growth hormone (GH) and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) to fluctuate. The best response by the nurse would be:

Sleep- wake cycles

The physician suspects a client may be experiencing hypofunction of an endocrine organ. Select the most appropriate test to determine organ function

Stimulation tests

A nurse has just completed an explanation of how hormones are normally regulated by feedback mechanisms to a client. The client asked if anything can alter the regulation. The best response by the nurse would be: select all that apply.

Stress, temperature, nutritional status

A client who is referred to the endocrinologist office for an evaluation of his hormone levels ask what regulates the hormone levels. The best response would be that the hormone levels in the body are primarily regulated by

The hypothalamus pituitary target cell system

Select the process that allows hormones to exert influence upon some cells and not others.
